The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I personally just have not been a fan these past couple years. Killian has gone through multiple administration and it has lost a lost of teachers.

Many people say they hate school but not me ! I am a senior at Miami Killian Senior High. I love this school. I am a the captain of our cheer team at the school. I am apart of the African heritage club. I'll say my best part of this school is all the stuff because I get alone with everyone. I love the events the school often like pep rallies in gym and lunch pep rallies.

my overall experience at Miami Killian senior high was highly unexpected. Coming into high school from covid and being an innocent little 14 year old I never expected to be pushed so deeply into young adulthood and definetly never expected to enjoy my high school experience. But I fairly enjoyed my high school experience. Killian taught me a lot and was a great school.

I recently transferred my son to Miami Killian High and so far, it has been a drastic improvement from the school he was in which has thousands of students. The administration at Killian is responsive and helpful. In addition, there are excellent magnet program options and clubs to choose from.

Killian is a very good school. I'm going to be a junior this upcoming year. I hear many people say Killian is a bad school and that bad kids go there but its not true. Every school is going to have those "bad kids". The school offers so much to its students. The principal Mr. Ennis is amazing. The t...
